CPU Mining
In this video I throw 5 of my 3900x CPU Mining rigs onto a single 1200w server PSU and in the course of seems I dropped over 50w at the wall from ditching ATX PSUs in addition to all the additional cables.

either i missed it or you dinnt show pluging in the pico board
why not use the break out board from 6pin to barrell connection?
do you have a link for the barrel plug connectors used in the video? thanks
I prefer server psu since they have a higher efficiency rating and I feel they have a better track record of safety than the square box ATX style but if like the atx, go with brand names or risk damage to components or fire. With bare wires I clamp on eyelet connectors and they plug right in and tighten well to breakout boards. Less likely they'll fall out too.
Hi, can you tell me if I'm able to build only two mining rigs on 3700x overclocked using ATX power supply? Since on ATX PSU maximum number of CPU cables is two 8 pin ATX cables each will provide not more than 225 watts.
got the same peco supplys u have but i can only see 2 4 pin connecters do u use the 4 pin with the loop of the 4 pin connecter next to the 24 pin plug
both 4 pins dont fit together
Wonderful video as always, you are the reason I am starting CPU mining !!! Dimitrios Athens Greece
This shows why modular cabling is bad.
what barrel plugs are you using no link in description?
Can you just plug the PCIE cables to the X7 breakout board with 6pin adaptors?
Bruh it literally took me 3 seconds and a rewind to comprehend how you said "ethernet" lol
How much power can you pull from those 5 mm to 2.5 mm barrel plug adapters going into the pico?
Why don´t you use a regular 12V (13x) 6 pin breakout board and combine 2x 6 pin to 2.5mm barrel jack into a double barrel plug 300W pico adapters? You are using the regular picos with just one barrel plug but there are safer ones with two barrel plugs in order to use 2x 6(2) Pin to barrel jack cables. Regarding the cost of the ac adapter that you use and the fiddling with the cables the mentioned option might save more time and money than the workaround with the diy parts from parallel miner!? You could go with a regular set of a 750W HP Platinum, a breakout board and then a bag full of barrel jacks. Then cut off the 6 pin plug on one side of the cable, add the barrel jacks. Then connect 6pin cable with the server psu/breakout and the barrel jack with the pico. I know this isn´t too different to your solution. Just an alternative route in case the parallel miner breakout board is out of reach (I absolutely like their approach but the delivery from the US plus the customs import fees are just too expensive where I live).
questions:How do you daisy chain it with another server power supply to power the graphic cards and also how do you turn off an individual computer without turning all of them off?
Awesome! Have to get some of those pico power supplies and server psu etc for my setup as well. 👍🏼 those pico use a 4pin cpu connector though right? 🤘🏼
earth cable, probably a good idea to connect it too just for insurance
Normal PC PSU has ground, pc case, hdd, screws etc…..
Pico probably has a earth just connect a green cable from pico to your psu,
not sure if your break out board has an earth, but maybe connect it to the psu case or even directly to the power cable via mod
probably good idea to ask the experts at parallel miners
O man RAp take about NO details! U didn't show how it was connected to the MObo bro
Commenting for the algorithm and YouTube overlords!
Talking about "longevity", have you think through all the possible incomes?
What happens now if the Server PSU dies? Yes, it can and you will have "FIVE" mining rigs down instead of just "ONE" :$
What happens if one mining rig has a big short and it propagates back inside the breakout board? You could technically loose "FIVE" mining rigs instead of just "ONE" :$
Have a great week ahead my brother Rabid and keep on mining <3
I don't like this setup at all, chinese barrel plugs can do like 5A at most, chinese screw terminals are also famous for being really bad.
How I would do this (setup that can do 300W CPU no problem): use of those tiny pico PSUs that sit on top of the 24pin, but rewire them with 18AWG wires, from it two wires going to 8 pin EPS connector, from the EPS connector 6 wires go to 6 pin connector which plugs to standard server breakout board.
This way max of 324W can be pulled, only like 24W will go to the pico PSU, rest which is 300W can be pulled by the CPU.
Unfortuantelly it requires soldering(2 wires for pico psu), but it's worth it, ONLY 8 WIRES FOR WHOLE SETUP, EIGHT!
Where as in the setup from the video you have like 40 wires and pico psu board dangling around.
Why don't you just use standard breakout board (12x6pin connectors) with PCIe cables which you can solder to pico board input plug (or even solder directly to the pico board). Less connections, means lower probability of failure.
The CPU does not start from the Pico psu
I think it is a great idea to minimize cables. Mine are so spread out to make this impractical.
Думаю процессор не запустится от такого PSU
Nice! That PSU setup should allow your 13th CPU rig to essentially run for free.
I am CPU mining monero with a 3950X and 5950X, ~17kh per CPU. I just pointed my 3080ti to mine on monero ocean and it's getting ~75kh, or over 4x what an optimised 16 core Ryzen can get, and the consumption of the card is 225W.
I was just looking at these pico's on Parallelminer for my 3 cpu rigs. Haven't pulled the plug, just might after this video 🤔
You should also move HiveOS to M2 NVme disks instead of standard SATA drivers – it will reduce number of cables and speed up system startup.
The pico's are great, using them on my testbench – no problems so far 👍
Nice setup. Would love to see how the fan noise is though on that server psu. That's the only thing that stops me from using them. I tend to work not too far from my mining rigs so the noise is definitely something I need to consider.
By the way my 3D printer is on its way. Got myself Ender3 V2. Hopefully I can assemble everything together and get started. It does look I have a steep learning curve though. Oh by the way, do you have a glass hotbed on your 3D printer? After it prints, how do you clean the bed?
Cheers!
Good to see you bud " 😊😊✌
